Re: Germanwings A320 crash in France

if it's a suicide how do you explain than the descent was realively slow (read : normal) and that the direction and speed didn't change. Wouldn't you make sure you really die if you want to comit suicide ? This looks like (bad) luck. Yes a moutain was in the way, but it could have been a flat lake ...

Re: Germanwings A320 crash in France

It is getting grimmer by the day. Reading that the co pilot had been treated for suicidal tendencies... Did his parents know about that? In case of "no", it is just another prove how lonely this person was. If "yes", than I would ask if his parents have taken steps, considering ...

Re: Germanwings A320 crash in France

Our forum "experts" are on the loose again :shock: FML How exactly do you kill a flight attendance while seated with your barehands within the time that is required to turn a doorknob? since when do you have to kill someone to disable them? and even if the FA for some reason is not a 50kg...

Re: Germanwings A320 crash in France

you think an FA can save an aircraft when a pilot changes data and pushes the nose down 90%? The FA iis there to open the door for the other pilot, not to play the hero and intervene with the actions of the remaining pilot. ah yes they would not be affected by G-forces or any attempt from the ill m...

Re: Turkish Airlines A330-300 has crash-landed in Kathmandu (Nepal)

Duh ! Disembarking via chutes, i.e. evac, while the bus is already waiting on the taxiway? :shock: Why not bringing stairs then? If no real emergency it would be better to calmly leave using 1L instead of risking injuries. because they had to. i agree it looks and actually has been badly handled bu...

Re: Subsidies to Belgian airlines

The difference is that at the regional airports, like CRL, for example ALL AIRLINES are entitled to those same financial incentives. JAF has the same advantages at CRL than FR and indeed SN would have them as well should they want to fly from CRL. In BRU the inequality lies in the fact that only th...

Re: Brussels airlines future and financial perspective

The problem arises when it is cheaper (or not more expensive) to fly for a short trip to Barcelona (for instance) than to take the car or the train to the Belgian Coast or the Ardennes. The real problem is when you go to the Belgian Coast or the Ardennes because you cannot afford to go to Barcelona...
